Teacher residency academies (TRAs) are gaining attention as a powerful tool for teacher preparation and professional development; however, there is a lack of empirical study demonstrating their merit. The goal of the Teacher Residency Academy Alliance (TRA2) - a partnership among Jackson State University, the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, Xavier University of Louisiana, and seven diverse urban and rural school districts in Mississippi and Louisiana - is to investigate the implementation of a TRA model to recruit, license, induct, employ, and retain 28 middle school and secondary science teachers for high-need schools that serve more than 119,000 diverse students. The Alliance will accomplish its goal by completing the following specific objectives: create a high quality, rigorous, and clinically-based teacher preparation program for aspiring middle and secondary science teachers; recruit, prepare, employ, and support an increased number of diverse (e.g., African American), effective middle and secondary science educators in high-need urban and rural schools; and contribute to the knowledge base regarding the implementation of a clinically-based science teacher preparation for middle and secondary classrooms in diverse schools. The project will enable one cohort of 28 teachers to successfully complete the TRA2 program and obtaining state licensure/certification in science teaching, a master's degree, and initiation to National Board certification.The project's focus on middle school and secondary science helps make TRA2 unique in its approach to increase the number of high quality, culturally responsive, and licensed middle and secondary science teachers prepared to teach in the nation's high-need urban and rural schools. Project outcomes of this two year project are expected to inform the design of additional TRAs that will serve as a novel alternative to the traditional teacher preparation and post-baccalaureate certification programs common throughout the nation.The study design will be formative. The data obtained through surveys of teachers, district leaders, and principals, telephone interviews of mentors, and from extant data, will provide important information regarding the implementation of TRA2.

教师居住学院（TRA）正在引起人们的关注，作为教师准备和专业发展的有力工具；但是，缺乏证明其优点的实证研究。教师居住学院联盟（TRA2）的目标 - 杰克逊州立大学，国家专业教学标准委员会，路易斯安那州Xavier大学以及密西西比州和路易斯安那州的七个多元化的城市和农村学区 - 是为了调查TRA，招聘，招募28名中学的TRA模型和第二名的教师的实施。该联盟将通过完成以下特定目标来实现其目标：为有抱负的中学和中学教师创建高质量，严格且基于临床的教师准备计划；在高需求的城市和农村学校中，招募，准备，雇用和支持有效的中等和中等科学教育者的多样化（例如非裔美国人）的多样化；并为在不同学校的中学和中学教室的临床科学教师准备方面的实施方面做出了贡献。该项目将使一名组成的28位教师能够成功完成TRA2计划，并获得科学教学，硕士学位和启动国家董事会认证方面的国家许可/认证。该项目对中学和中学科学的重点有助于使TRA2在其高质量，文化响应式，中学和中学科学教师中的高质量响应式和中学教师的数量方面具有独特的方式，以增加国家/地区的教学培训。预计该两年项目的项目成果将为其他TRA的设计提供信息，这些TRA将作为传统教师准备工作和培训后认证计划的新颖替代方案。研究设计将是形成性的。通过对教师，地区领导者和校长的调查获得的数据，导师的电话访谈以及现有数据将提供有关TRA2实施的重要信息。
